Our 'perfect' pastor, Pastor Yee Onn of our Chinese church- good father, loving shepherd and handsome husband

The Perfect Pastor (Male and/or female).

  • The perfect pastor preaches exactly 10 minutes.
  • He condemns sin roundly but never hurts anyone’s feelings.
  • He works from 8 AM until midnight and is also the church janitor.
  • The perfect pastor makes $40 a week, wears good clothes, drives a good car, buys good books, and donates $30 a week to the church.
  • He is 29 years old and has 40 years experience.
  • Above all, he/she is handsome/pretty.
  • The perfect pastor has a burning desire to work with teenagers, and he spends most of his time with the senior citizens.
  • He smiles all the time with a straight face because he has a sense of humor that keeps him seriously dedicated to his church.
  • He makes 15 home visits a day and is always in his office to be handy when needed.
  • The perfect pastor always has time for church council and all of its committees. He never misses the meeting of any church organization and is always busy evangelizing the unchurched.
  • The perfect pastor is always in the next church over! If your pastor does not measure up, simply send this notice to six other churches that are tired of their pastor, too. Then bundle up your pastor and send him to the church at the top of the list. If everyone cooperates, in one week you will receive 1,643 pastors. One of them should be perfect. Have faith in this letter. One church broke the chain and got its old pastor back in less than three months. ~by Father McGinn~
This is Francis, one of our faithful, loyal, willing leaders our church are so blessed to have.

WE ARE A POWERHOUSE

Dear Church,

I am sharing some prophecies that are flowing out of the dawn prayer gatherings so that those who are unable to make it will be able to partake of

the blessings as well. We have just passed the half-way mark of this 40-Day Fasting and Prayer and we are really enjoying a wonderful outpouring of anointed and spirit-led prayer for ourselves, the church and the nation.

One recurring prophetic theme that seems to flow out of the Dawn Prayer gatherings is ‘Power’.

Just a couple of mornings ago, on the way to the dawn prayer, while driving along Section 14/61, Sis Vivienne saw what look

ed like three thick power cable pylons from the sky coming down the perimeter of our church. It appeared to her suddenly and in a blink of an eye, the vision was gone. She was dazed by what she saw and the word she felt as a result of the vision is ‘Power’. This confirmed the Lord's declaration to us that No: 8, Jalan 227 is a ‘Powerhouse’.

Folks, God visits the church that prays. Jim Cymbala of the world renowned Brooklyn Tabernacle said, "The history of the Church in the book of Acts proves that the secret of dynamic power, glorious witness and the very direction of important church affairs all came from God responding to a people who prayed and waited in His Presence."

He further said that our Christian journey to maturity ought to lead us to new depths of prayer and heart revelations of the Lord.

The Lord is hearing all our cries and prayers in the mornings. One sister saw a vision of antennae from Heaven facing downwards ‘receiving’ all the prayers being sent upwards. The prayer bowls in the hands of angels are being filled and they are being tipped over to powerful and miraculous answers to our prayers.

As one brother prayed, the Lord showed him a vivid vision of God seated on His throne like a judge, dressed in white and His right hand was holding a sceptre. Both His eyes are gold in color.

Folks, every injustice in the land is seen by our Lord and He is ruling over our nation and His justice will be established. Our prayers are truly bringing about a powerful impact of the heavenly kingdom upon Malaysia.

Sister Shela wrote, "As I was praying the Spirit of God revealed to me to enter into the fullness of his grace and mercy, fullness of his healing, fullness of spirit". The word fullness keeps coming back and I would like to encourage everyone to enter into the fullness of glory, into the fullness of all that he has in store for us to be the

"Power House for God."

On Wednesday morning, Bro. Gary Goh shared a simple illustration of how his daughter often kisses his cheeks and forehead with love and this is the ministry that we are offering to our Lord daily. Many are enjoying the tangible presence of God and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Father looks upon us with great delight and pleasure when He sees His children gathering to seek His face the first thing in the morning.

Church, Grace and I have been praying daily for your protection against the H1N1. The Lord bless you and surround you with His shield of favour and protection. Daily claim this privilege as His children against all forms of sicknesses and diseases. Your prayers are powerful in the Name of Jesus. Walk in boldness and not in fear. Knowing that God loves us unconditionally will cast out any form of fear from your lives.

Love,
Pastor Ron Hee

The Holy Spirit speaks to us through dreams and visions and here is a dream from one of the level headed- feet on the ground- sister in Christ:

About 2 weeks ago, early morning of Sunday. I had a dream. This dream is the ever first time I saw Grace and Ps Ron in it. The dream begins ...
"I was in a moving vehicle when suddenly I saw Grace and Ps Ron was in another bus(seem like converted from a lorry). Grace was the driver and Ps Ron was the navigator and the bus was packed with people. Ps Ron was busy talking and ushering those passengers to take their seat as the bus will depart shortly and Grace was cheerfully being the driver. I was shocked and quite amazed Grace can drive a bus!! Super!!
The bus pull alongside my vehicle and both the vehicle was driving to same direction.
Then suddenly I was having a helicopter viewing from the sky, I was sitting in a real helicopter. I saw huge crowds was usher by people to sit in groups in an open area like big field. The crowds was so huge until countless. Their skin colour seem dark. Then the dream ended and I woke up."
Hedy Koh, one of our faithful prayer warriors

One of the focus of our dawn prayer has been against the H1N1 pandemic especially in our nation of Malaysia. Here is a vision from one of the sisters:

"As we were praying on Monday morning, I saw a figure dressed like in a robe and it was holding a large sickle. It has no face and all I can see is it is black. It looked like the angel of death. Just as it was about to swing the sickle I saw doves, white doves in fact attacking this figure.so that this figure was unable to use the sickle. As the prayer became intense, more doves came at the figure making it go backwards until it was lifted up by their left and right arm up towards the sky by the doves. Then I saw a whole picture like looking from afar where there were more of the same figures being lifted up on both left and right arm by many white doves up to the sky The whole sky was filled with these images." I heard the following words that said Jesus has done it all . Continue to trust in me"

RM18,000 raised from charity event handed to association

LONPAC Insurance, one of the country’s leading general insurance companies, initiated a charity golf tournament held at the Kelab Golf Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah in Shah Alam to raise funds for Sri Eden Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Welfare Association recently.

About 120 participants, comprising Lonpac Insurance management team, business partners, clients, agents and motor policyholders, took to the greens.

Sri Eden is a non-government organisation catering to the needs of children with learning difficulties such as autism, Down Syndrome, mental retardation and cerebral palsy.

About RM18,000 was raised from the championship.

An additional RM3,000 was also raised through cash donations from the participants. Lonpac Insurance adviser Tee Choon Yeow handed over the donation to Sri Eden president Ron Hee.

The donation to Sri Eden will be used for their critical individualised education plans for the children.

This individualised education plan is set up due to the varying conditions of the children which include trained teachers, specialised equipment and teaching aid.

Paul, one of the gems in our church: faithful, willing servant of God

CONFIDENT, FEARLESS AND FULL OF HOPE

THE BELIEVER'S BLUEPRINT FOR CONFIDENT LIVING
(Exposition from Psalm 27)


The normal Christian life should be CONFIDENT,

Psa 27:3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.


Psa 27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.


FEARLESS,

Psa 27:1 Of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?


Psa 27:3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear


and FULL OF HOPE

Psa 27:13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Josephine and Magnus's beautiful daughter, Rebecca

"Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure because you will not abandon me to the grave" Ps 16:9

Our bodies must rest secure if we want to be healthy. Ask God to deliver us from anything that cause restlessness in us which can be due to fear, anxiety, worry, stress etc. Let us enter into the perfect love and unconditional acceptance of the Lord which will bring about a deep sense of security in us. Let us be glad and rejoice daily in the Lord for wholeness to our bodies, souls and spirits.
The number of deaths in Malaysia due to Influenza A(H1N1) rose to 38 today with 270 new cases reported in one day, bringing the total to 2253. This is causing much anxiety and fear in many folks as this pandemic sweeps the nation without respect for the rich or the famous. The newspaper reported that the consort of the Regent of Pahang and her five children have also contracted H1N1 as well as the Costa Rican President Oscar Arias. As deep darkness cover the nation, Christians must shine. Christians must not walk in fear but in trust. Trust in the perfect love of God. Trust in the Name of the Lord Jesus who is our refuge and our fortress. We dwell under the safe shelter of His wings.

I am a sheep under His care and
my every need is taken care of.

On Wholeheartedness
Luciano Pavarotti, opera great, said, “When I was a boy, my father, a baker, introduced me to the wonders of song. He urged me to work very hard to develop my voice. Arrigo Pola, a professional tenor in my hometown of Modena, Italy, took me as a pupil. I also enrolled in a teachers college. On graduating, I asked my father, "Shall I be a teacher or a singer?" "Luciano," my father replied, "if you try to sit on two chairs, you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair." “I chose one. It took seven years of study and frustration before I made my first professional appearance. It took another seven to reach the Metropolitan Opera. And now I think whether it’s laying bricks, writing a book--whatever we choose--we should give ourselves to it.”
A Christian can live in any country just as one of its citizens or he/she can live as an ambassador of God's kingdom. Just as an ambassador has the backing and authority of the nation that he represents, the Christian has the authority from the King of kings and the Lord of lords. I encouraged New Life leaders to fully embrace their divine calling as this would release the total supply of all that he needs for the task he is assigned just as an ambassador will be supplied by the government that he represents.
